FIRESTORE BACKUP

This is a simple tool to create backups from a firestore database.

Installation

You need to have installed golang and configured $GOPATH environment variable.

After that run this command

go install github.com/ernesto27/firestore-backup

Usage

firestore-backup [firebase-credentials.json] [collections..]

First parameter "firebase-credentials.json" is the config firebase file that you can download from your firebase console.

Project settings -> Service accounts -> Firebase admin SDK

"collections.." is the name of the collections that you want to backup.

Example

firestore-backup firebase-credentials.json users posts

This will create two files "users.json" and "posts.json" with the data of the collections.

Example users.json

{
  "fNttol9VYulnwkFSir6p": {
    "name": "name1",
    "uid": "oU4IC2RLSEQvGITjZLcPplMmjZs1"
  },
  "oZs16BA72KgmFdVoGdYh": {
    "name": "name2",

  }
